Carolyn and family--we were so sorry to hear about Richard's passing. We send our heartfelt condolences. Billie and Dave Bennett (1405 Tiffany Ln.)
Carolyn, know that you and Richard have touched my life more than you may ever know. From meeting you both as a 4-5 year old to today, I reflect on time spent with you at your house. Playing your piano while all you big people visited. Many years have passed, but I still think of you both fondly. I can still hear Richard's voice calling our house..."Uh, Tara, where's your Daddy at?" (in his Louisiana drawl, of course) like it was yesterday. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
With Deepest Sympathy
I have not known Richard as long as most of his friends. The moment I met Richard we were friends. I never saw Richard with out a smile on his face. He was a very kind man. I will always remember him when the song Mind Your Own Business is played.
Richard I will miss you so much. Rest in peace my dear friend. God hold you now.

Dear Carolyn,
It was such a pleasure to know Richard. I have heard it said that when we get to the Gates of Heaven we are judged by those we knew and loved on earth - I'm sure Richard is singing a "Frog on a Log" and giving a smile to all in heaven. What a great guy!
My thoughts and prayers are with you.
